Robotics Engineer

About Us

Standard Subsea is building the offshore robotics company. We are developing a fleet of unmanned surface vessels and subsea vehicles to put operations capacity where it's needed, without crewed vessels, without mobilization delays, and at a fraction of the cost.

The Role

We are hiring a Robotics Engineer to work hands-on across software, hardware, and system integration for our marine robotics platform. This is a generalist robotics role focused on making real systems work in the field.

You will contribute to core robotics functionality including sensor integration, controls, communications, and actuator-level behavior on physical platforms. You’ll work closely with mechanical, electrical, and software engineers to turn prototypes into reliable, deployable systems.

Responsibilities

• Develop and maintain robotics software in C++ and Python using ROS/ROS2
• Integrate and operate point cloud–producing sensors (lidar, radar, sonar) on physical systems
• Implement and debug robotics communication interfaces (CAN, serial, Ethernet, etc.)
• Build and maintain control logic including state machines, PID loops, and feedback control
• Work hands-on with motors, actuators, and low-level hardware interfaces
• Support system integration, bench testing, and field testing on real vehicles
• Collaborate closely with mechanical, electrical, and test engineers to close integration gaps

Qualifications

• Degree in Robotics, Mechatronics, Computer Engineering, or related field
• 1–2 years of industry or research experience post-graduation (or equivalent hands-on work)
• Strong proficiency in C++, Python, and modern ROS-based workflows
• Experience working with real robotic hardware, not just simulation
• Solid understanding of controls fundamentals and embedded system behavior
• Comfortable debugging across software, electrical, and mechanical boundaries
